This sweet carrot-shaped cheese ball recipe is a clever take on an Easter dessert favorite: carrot cake. Serve with graham crackers, vanilla wafers, gingersnaps or apple slices for dipping fun that both kids and adults will love.

Preparation

Coat a large piece of plastic wrap with cooking spray. Scoop the cheese mixture onto it. Using the plastic wrap to help you, form the cheese mixture into a ball, then completely wrap in plastic. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour and up to 2 days.

Just before serving, combine pecans, coconut and the remaining ¼ cup carrot in a small bowl. Turn the cheese ball out onto a serving plate and form into a carrot shape. Coat with the pecan mixture. Garnish with carrot greens, if desired.

I used crushed, drained, canned pineapple, toasted walnut pieces, and Splenda instead of honey. It is a delicious recipe and was a hit with graham crackers and apples. Kids could make this easily with a little help cause you mix it all with a fork. This is a keeper.

This is sooo yummy. It's more on the sweet side as far as cheese balls go. Tastes a little bit like cheese cake. I omit the nuts because of food allergies and it's still delicious.
